Car was inspected today by Stateroads. It passed every test except for one of the struts was leaking. The strut was replaced today by the dealership (I'll confirm in person that it was, but they have a workshop there so I don't doubt it)

.

Everything else was perfect except for a minor faded section on the front left quarter panel, which I already knew about.

The final comments for the inspector were:

"THIS VEHICLE PRESENTS AS IN REASONABLE CONDITION FOR ITS AGE ,THE BODY SHOWS NO MAJOR STRUCTURAL

OR MAJOR BODY REPAIR.SOME SUPERFICIAL REPAIR AND PAINTWORK TO PANELS SHOWN.
THE ENGINE RUNS AND SOUNDS GOOD FOR AGE WITH NO MAJOR NOISE SMOKE OR FUMES EVIDENT DURING
ENGINE TESTING.
THIS VEHICLE TEST DROVE AND PERFORMED REASONABLY WELL FOR ITS AGE WITH NO MAJOR DRIVELINE OR
UNDERCARRIAGE NOISE AUDIBLE ON THE TEST DRIVE."

Sounds alright mate, choice is on you now :)

You went the right way about it in the end. And keep that State Roads report, as it's a good bit of paper to have if/when you decide to sell yourself.

Yep picked it up on Wednesday :) Don't have any decent pics other than the ones that were previously uploaded, I'll try get some this weekend. Loving the drive so far

Yewwww! Good result, throw some pics up and get looking for some new rims ASAP, even stockies will do! :thumbsup:

haha come on the wheels aren't "that" bad. At least they aren't chrome dishplate rims. I'm currently saving for other things so not sure if I'm going to drop 1k+ for a new set for a while.

  • 3 weeks later...

That's the series 2 front bar I'm fairly certain. 2000+ baby.

I've always been a fan of series 1 tho, more aggressive I feel.

But looks clean man! I forgot black cars are meant to look like that... mine is so dirty atm :'(

The photo might be playing some tricks haha it's in good condition but definitely needs a good cut and polish. I've just sold my FTO so might have some funds for a set of wheels under 1k

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
